Natasa Stankovic, the former Bigg Boss contestant and wife of Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya, recently shared a cryptic video on her Instagram story, addressing the tendency of people to judge others quickly. This video has emerged amid escalating rumors that Natasa and Hardik are headed for divorce.
In the video, Natasa is seen having a beverage and sharing a “random thought” about human nature. “As people, how quick are we in judging? If we see someone who is acting out of their character, we don’t slow down, we don’t observe, and we have no empathy. We straight jump into judging,” she said. She further urged her followers to be “less judgemental, observe more, have more empathy, and be patient.”
Natasa has remained silent about the divorce rumors for quite some time. Despite Hardik’s return to Mumbai following the T20 World Cup Championship win, he has not been seen with Natasa. Last week, Natasa posted another video on her Instagram stories that seemed to hint at their separation. In that clip, she said, “Just a gentle reminder from me to you again, God did not remove the Red Sea, He simply parted it. Which means, he won’t remove a problem from your life, he will simply make a way through it.”
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya got married on May 31, 2020, and reaffirmed their wedding vows in February 2023, incorporating both Hindu and Christian rituals. However, divorce rumors began circulating in May this year after fans noticed that Natasa had removed ‘Pandya’ from her Instagram handle. A viral Reddit post titled “Natasa and Hardik separated?” further fueled the speculation, citing their absence from each other’s social media and Natasa’s non-attendance at IPL 2024 matches.
Adding to the intrigue, Natasa “liked” a post that Krunal Pandya, Hardik’s brother, dropped on Instagram. However, she has refrained from posting anything about Hardik or India’s big T20 World Cup win. She was also notably absent from Hardik’s celebratory post with their son, Agastya.
A report by the Bombay Times has claimed that Hardik and Natasa have been facing issues in their marriage for a long time. “Tension has been brewing in their marriage for the past six months. The couple is likely to head for a separation. However, the stories around the alimony percentage are speculative and exaggerated. Also, news about this being a PR campaign is untrue,” a source said.As the rumors continue to swirl, neither Natasa Stankovic nor Hardik Pandya has made an official statement regarding the status of their marriage.
